video/action:
[It's video. On purpose. Charlie's making sure it's done on purpose. She's on the roof of her building and she's filming a row of large, white buckets with dirt in them. And there are green things poking out of the dirt. Some of the buckets have green sticks poking out and with the way the green plants are carefully tied to the green sticks, they're for support.
There's a row of smaller bucket with the same dirt-and-plant combination, some of the plants with small flowers on them.]
This took way too long to do. But, thank God my landlady was cool with this. I have to share some of the strawberries when they grow and some of the tomatoes, too but that's fine. Haven't had a garden in forever and figured I needed one.
[There's more shots of the rooftop garden, even a brief glimpse of a few big coffee cans on a table, again plants-and-dirt and they're labeled things like 'chives', 'oregano', 'parsley', 'thyme' and 'dill'. Someone's been having fun on the roof.] Oh! Also...
[And then the camera is pointing at strands of various lights hung on a frame. The sun is setting so the effect of the white lights on the sky is pretty neat.] These were so cheap to by after Christmas and the frame was already up here. What it was before, I don't know. I just saw the frame and suddenly wanted lights.
[And the camera turns again and there is Charlie on a long, cloth lawn chair. There's an old looking bedside table next to her. It has a couple books and a soda on it. There's a blanket on the back of the chair and the flicker-glow of a nearby fire. And Charlie is grinning.]
Worth every second of work.
[End feed.]

What's the worst curse this place has thrown at you, do you think?

In general? Stuck in the desert for weeks.

[Dear god. There would be NO ACCESS TO HAIR PRODUCTS.]
I shall be eternally grateful I missed out on that particular adventure. I'm Welsh. I don't cope with heat well.

[Charlie. That is hardly what you considered 'too much' in the desert. You're just whining.]

[Cue interest on Howl's part.]
Is this something you've always been able to do?

Do you know any place in this Citywhere one might find potion ingredients?
[He's not going to stay in one place for long without his haircare products. His ROOTS might come in.]
